Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cottage Hills could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Cottage Hills, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
